I have got the above mouse, which has four buttons and a clickable 4-way wheel. It was automatically recognized by my OS and everything works fine except for the two side buttons. Using xev, I found out that these trigger different events than all other buttons, namely KeyPress instead of ButtonPress. This is what appears on the console:
Code:
KeyPress event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x3000001,
root 0x1a6, subw 0x0, time 8324004, (281,177), root:(284,200),
state 0x10, keycode 234 (keysym 0x0, NoSymbol), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
Is there a way to use these buttons like ordinary mouse buttons, e.g. for Back/Forward while browsing?
